Is large scale direct reposting of content from corporate social media healthy for the Fediverse?
I can see if accounts do it occasionally and organically but are accounts that exist solely to repost popular and recent posts from twitter/reddit/Facebook healthy for the Fediverse?

Unsure if this is already your point or not, but, my question is: at what level of automation does it cease to be “selectively raiding the mainstream” and turn into “importing/copying the mainstream wholesale”?
Great point. “Selectively” is a key word there. Gunderloy was a key figure in zine culture, and they were all about making new stuff DIY: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factsheet_Five
